Pacific Art League Presents: "Wayne Thiebaud in his Own Words”
By Jim Caldwell
*************************
This November, Wayne Thiebaud will celebrate his 100th birthday. One of California’s favorite artists, he has had an extraordinarily long and productive career. Many think of him as a painter of pies, and yet he has explored a variety other fascinating motifs, including the streets of San Francisco and the Sacramento Delta.
As a gifted and articulate teacher and academic, he has thoughtfully spoken about his paintings in many interviews over his long career; whenever possible. Jim has expressed the presentation of his extraordinary body of work in his own words.
Jim Caldwell, artist, art historian, and architect, will speak about Wayne Thiebaud’s brilliant and fascinating career. This 50 minute presentation includes 60 beautiful images of paintings, watercolors, pastels and drawings…with subjects as varied as candied apples, delta scenes, memory mountains and clowns.
